"Rangers Suck?"

This has probably been reiterated so many times in numerous threads, but I had to start this thread.. just because.

I sat in 214 tonight, and the amount of "Rangers Suck" material is incredible. "Everybody clap your hands if the Rangers suck" (ruined the Godzilla clap for me), The dozen or so vanilla "Rangers Suck" chants, as well as other random remarks about how they suck. Additionally, I heard people starting Rangers Suck chants after the game in one of the towers... really?!

I find it a disgrace and so childish. To the common fan, it is cute and attractive - but now its getting downright embarrassing. Every time I heard someone starting to whistle, I would yell "SHUT UP" and my casual Devil fans that came with me didn't understand the hatred for the Rangers Suck chant.

I've never really had a problem with it before, but for some reason it really got to me tonight. Some fellow "Devils fans" in school also ignore and neglect everything Rangers. I was watching a Zherdev "dangle video" on YT and the man has some sick dangles, and my friend refused to watch it because it was a Ranger.. this has happened a few other times with "Devils fans".

Call me crazy, but I just think this behavior is embarrassing for the organization, but more so the fans who participate in it and drag the rest that are Devils fans first, but also hockey fans.

PS- There was a person with a Dubinsky jersey on in 214 or 215 :shakehead

/endrant -- I should try getting this on the Verizon Rant Day or whatever in between periods :sarcasm:

Don't worry...you're not the only one who hates the chant!

While I do the "rangers suck" thing to godzilla...that's the only time I do it because it's only done once and it's a little tradition.

But the WHISTLE HAS GOT TO GO!!

I loved the "stop the whistle" chant in the 2nd or 3rd

You hit it stop on with the common fan.. I liked it when I went to to the occasional game (at CAA).. The more games I attended, the more I hated it.. It's just stupid now

It was the first time I haven't laughed at Godzilla, the balcony seating don't really have unique chants and it was my first time in the uppers in a while.

1) I guess I missed it? Funny stuff

2) Exactly.. some of the people doing the whistle can't even get it right, lol.

I don't mind it every now and then.

It's better than the Rangers "Potvin sucks" atleast the Rangers are in the league as we chant it

That wasn't for the Rangers suck whistle. It was for this annoying **** that had a whistle and just kept blowing it non-stop for like 15 minutes in section 133.

the casual fans love the chant that is one of the main reasons it will never die off. I don't participate in it so I don't care. It they want to chant it let them. They are making noise and thats better then nothing.

yeah i was in section 213.. too many times tonite...

It's an absolutely asinine chant, especially during a god damn playoff game.
Who the **** cares about the Rangers right now?

I want to say most of the whistles come from 208 and 225.

I want to say most of the whistles come from 208 and 225.

You're wrong! They NEVER come from my section! Try over in 233 and 232!

You're wrong! They NEVER come from my section! Try over in 233 and 232!

I was in 232 Wednesday and 233 tonight. Not one whistle from over here. Only LGD chants.

Maybe 216?

There's a woman in 232 that ALWAYS does it. And then you have the guy in 210 I think it is.

But never 225...that's where my seasons are, I think I would know!

I don't really pay attention to it honestly. Just ignore it and move on. I just know it comes from that side of the arena somewhere.

Stop crying, its a fun chant. The ****ing Rangers chant about a hall of famer who retired 20 ****ing years ago, who cares.

Obviously! :sarcasm:

Believe me...as soon as I hear it I'm yelling at the retards that go along with it!

Stop crying, its a fun chant. The ****ing Rangers chant about a hall of famer who retired 20 ****ing years ago, who cares.

Were you in a red Stevens cup jersey on line today?

Stop crying, its an annoying chant.

FIXED!

Stop crying, its a fun chant. The ****ing Rangers chant about a hall of famer who retired 20 ****ing years ago, who cares.

exactly. some fans have fun with it and it gets them making noise and a little more vocal. Nothing wrong with that. If you don't like the chant don't do it. I hate the thing but it's not going to stop.

yea i just ignore the whistle chant, altho it is amusing to hear people f it up :facepalm:

Were you in a red Stevens cup jersey on line today?

Nope, that was my friend. I had a white 2000 cup Marty jersey on, I know that narrows that down haha.

and threads like this always appear after crushing losses like this, everyone need to relax.

This series is going 7, we win it at home.

Nope, that was my friend. I had a white 2000 cup Marty jersey on, I know that narrows that down haha.

Ohhhhhhhh haha yeah I know who you are. I was the kid with a Zajac jersey on and a backpack running back and forth (going to class) I was like 3 people in front of you

i still think it could go six. I think we are going to split the carolina games and then take the next two. The next game will be very telling though. I as said before their response in the game 3 is going to the series. I'm not saying they have to win but they have to come out gunning and paly like they did in game one.

Who cares when this thread appears...our fanbase needs to take a grown-up pill because chanting that stupid saying is so freakin' annoying and embarrassing EVERY TIME it's done!

I'm so over that silly little chant and the retards that do it!

Ohhhhhhhh haha yeah I know who you are. I was the kid with a Zajac jersey on and a backpack running back and forth (going to class) I was like 3 people in front of you

The proud ones who waited 6 hours for tickets for this loss. :cry:

Now I am going to sleep my ass off.

Makes it so much more heartbreaking after a loss and rewarding after a win.

CJ am I crazy or have I heard you join in on that chant before? :)

How was the suite? I also blame our friendly mod for abandoning his seat for your suite and offsetting the balance of 225, erasing our good karma.

maybe if we had other chants to drown it out it wouldn't be an issue anymore. Get to work on that CJ.

The ONLY time I do that chant is when we play the Rangers and it's ONCE whenever the first time it's done.

I haven't done it at a non-Rangers game since the old CAA games!

The suite was awesome...we had a lot of fun in there!

chanting that stupid saying is so freakin' annoying and embarrassing EVERY TIME it's done!

esp when u hear a group of 8 year olds saying "flyers swallow"

maybe if we had other chants to drown it out it wouldn't be an issue anymore. Get to work on that CJ.

People write letters about me and my actions at games...I'm starting nothing!

esp when u hear a group of 8 year olds saying "flyers swallow"

You got it!!

You wanna chant and be loud, chant about the Devils...is it really that hard to do?

What really gets me is the people that do that chant and then laugh at it like it's cool....like we're back in 5th grade again and Johnny fell off the monkey bars and his underwear was hanging out! :shakehead

People write letters about me and my actions at games...I'm starting nothing!

letting me down.

Babyfart McGeezacks

The only chant the entire stadium does is "Marty!" It's so sad. The lower bowl sucks.

This man will stop it

Babyfart McGeezacks

you have probably never been to Raleigh.

Was it done too much tonight? You bet.
But I think the chant has its place, it has its place in the rivalry and makes light of the fact that the Rangers chant about a guy who doesnt even play in the league anymore.

This whole thread is just begging for the usual Brooklyn Faded trolls to come into.

Does the entire 200 level boo him?

your just mad that the rangers are winning there series. :sarcasm:

Does the entire 200 level boo him?

i guess thats why he's always downstairs by my section then

your just mad that the rangers are winning there series. :sarcasm:

I aint going to Space Jail.

I aint going to Space Jail.

that's a solid point and maybe i should rethink my actions.

At this point, I positively LOATHE the "Rangers Suck" chant, and yes, it's started by people who only go to 1 or 2 or 3 games per year.

The WORST?

Although I was not at tonight's game (luckily), I could hear on television LOUD & CLEAR that chant LATE in the THIRD PERIOD of a TIED PLAYOFF GAME?

Seriously? No, no seriously? Tied playoff game, under 10 minutes left, and you start that nonsense? :rant:

You've probably never been to Raleigh.

Honestly, this thread has been started so many times, usually after a important loss.

As long as a single Rangers fan shows up to a Devils/Hurricanes game, I think the chant is fine, in moderation, like anything else. It has its place, and I think it is a perfect mockery of a team who chants about a hall of fame/4 cup winner who has been retired for ages.

I was too busy holding a towel over my face saying to my self "here it comes, here it comes, **** me, here it comes", seeing the way our team gave up in the OT tonight.

as i said we need people to start other chants. If they are busy chanting other stuff then they wont have time to do the rangers chant. Problem is the crowd is usually quiet other then a few spattered Marty chants, the occasional Lets go Devils and the one D-E-V-I-L-S chant that happens usually early.

green flag warning. awesome

thats the only part that really bothers me. It seems that the chant is happening a lot more frequently during the last few years. It used to happen two times maybe three times a game and that was fine.

I loved the "stop the whistle" chant in the 2nd or 3rd

You hit it stop on with the common fan.. I liked it when I went to to the occasional game (at CAA).. The more games I attended, the more I hated it.. It's just stupid now

You think you guys hate this? I can't even begin to tell you how many Rangers fans DESPISE the "Potvin sucks" chant...its so stupid.

If someone near me at the Garden does it,I make sure I tell them to knock it the eff off.

Most Lets Go Devil chants, the D-E-V-I-L-S and usually the Marty chants all come from 232/233.

Most Lets Go Devil chants, the D-E-V-I-L-S and usually the Marty chants all come from 232/233.

Lets go devils chants and Marty chants happen all over the place.

I always hate sections that wont participate in a chant just because it didn't start in their section. I believe it was the game i sat in 233?(thats the mongoloid section, correct? I know thats the section that was doing it) that i noticed that. it really pissed me off.

I was in 233 tonight. Didn't matter where it started. They were all aboard within one or two Lets Go Devils.

Yeah chants are started everywhere. 233 is very loud, but so is 225 and 208 is well.

This whole section versus section thing has to go.

thats what i hate. As a none season ticket holder and someone who sits where ever he can afford I just don't understand the whole hate thing. If there's a chant you can bet your ass i'm joining it.

it's like second nature now.

Like so many embarrassing things Devils fans do the Rangers Suck chant is the worse when the Rangers aren't in the building. Maybe that one of the reasons why the Devils aren't on NBC or Versus TV.

The only chant the entire stadium does is "Marty!" It's so sad. The lower bowl sucks.

ARENA! and no its not the only chant everyone does.

U like it because u like to yell the avery part :laugh:.............However, I agree with you though. As long as stupid rag fans come to the game with their jerseys on your going to hear it a lot. It has been chanted a lot less though during the season. Another one of these threads is stupid!

The guy that did it in 214 did it to much though and he happen to be in my row few seat from me :facepalm:

There's a woman in 232 that ALWAYS does it. And then you have the guy in 210 I think it is.

But never 225...that's where my seasons are, I think I would know!


yea she sounds like a crow!!! i'll take it one step further for game 1 we had a jackass sitting behing us that was updating the rangers score every 5 mins from his phone. Stay the F home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's so easy to yank the chain of so many Devils fans.

I can tolerate a few Rangers Suck chants during a Rangers game, but I just think the whole spiel of doing it multiple times in completely irrelevant games is very old.

Sure, one can say "just don't participate in it", but the fact is that any outsider from another fan base will associate a Devils Fan with this act of class. A lot of Devils fans on here have had discussions about "class" and I find it pretty hypocritical since this chant is in place :laugh:

How About Lets Go Devils, Martys better, Hey you suck after a goal. Use all the energy in the building to ramp up the team, the h*** with the Rangers.
Also the lower sections need to be just as loud.

Unless it's finals the lower section will NEVER be as loud.

As for this thread, next time I go to a game, esp. in the 200s, I should bring a large ass sign that says "Inferiority Complex".

I absolutely abhor the "Rangers Suck" chants. They're sophomoric. They make us look like we can't get over the "second class syndrome" vis-a-vis the Rangers, which is ludicrous since we've been the better team now for the majority of our existence here. But if we don't feel inferior, why constantly chant it when we're not even playing them?

Furthermore, it's a direct copy of the RANGERS FANS' stupid "Potvin Sucks" chant. Not only is it a stupid, ignorant, low-end thing to do (exacerbating other team's fans' perspectives that our fanbase is ... base), but it's not even remotely original. If you acknowledge that the "Potvin Sucks" chant was stupid, why assimilate it here? And the Ranger fans did it due to the absolute superiority of the Islander teams.

It reminds me of the Boston Red Sox fans' inferiority obsession with the Yankees. I guy I know was in Boston and near Fenway when a playoff game let out - a Boston win - and they were chanting Yankees Suck. It's the kind of thing you pity those poor fools for - they can't even enjoy their team's success without relating it to their inferiority obsession with the Yankees.

Those Devil fans doing this - no matter how much vitriol you wish to spew back at this post or others criticizing this chant - are exactly the same as those inferiority complex Boston and Ranger fans. Exactly the same. You debase the fanbase as a whole - you bring us down to your level, and you make it seem that all of us measure our successes and failures through the prism of the New York Rangers, which is so far from the truth it's silly. But perception is reality in life - and the perception of us suffers for your childishness.

Does the entire 200 level boo him?

Not me and I really don't understand the hate for the guy

He doesn't do anything to take away from your experience at the game.. If anything, he's done the impossible and made the lower bowl get off their ***** and cheer for something

Yeah chants are started everywhere. 233 is very loud, but so is 225 and 208 is well.

This whole section versus section thing has to go.

I don't think it's a section versus section thing, it's jsut that they can't hear one another. I sit in 229, midway between 225 and 232...this is what the start of games sound like

Lets go Lets Devils go Devils

On rare occasions it works out perfectly and it's

lets go devils lets go devils

And you don't hear the clapping.

I think this is part of the reason why my section never starts up chants...we all wait til everyone is in unison and it sounds right.

Can someone kill the guy with the horn?

I love it honestly.

Beats the hell out of "Let's go ______" and all of the generic chants. That one's ours and it's unique and it's fun.

Not me and I really don't understand the hate for the guy

The people behind me hate him, he came up to our section and threw a shirt, the girl in front of me caught it, and he took off runnin real quck b/c they were on him.

I'm impartial, the jackass in me finds him hilarious but it's just weird that he's a pro "fan" I did talk to him for a bit at BCBG and he's a cool guy.

You wouldn't want to be paid to go to games and do that instead of a typical job?

That's what it is...I'm so *** jealous, and that's what I told him at Brick City...I go "Dude I hate you so much, I want your *** job!" He says, "No way dude, I take so much **** from fans all game long and I easily lose 10 pounds a night"

To which I pointed at my beer gut and said I could stand to lose a few.

Hoo Hoo Robin I came up with the Rangers Suck chant hoohoo.

Its worth the **** from the fans though. He just needs to stay away from the corners and he will be find. IDK y he goes to the upper level since they don't need him up there. I hate him because he starts the stupid wave, which old and lame.

Does he really do that much harm to the game experience that he should take **** from people?

All the guy is doing is what he's supposed to for his job

PLEASE DO!
Can someone kill the guy with the horn?
I love it, but I've never sat remotely close to the guy so... :sarcasm: On TV its great because it makes the game sound.. epic? It just reminds me of the 1995 final game for some reason that I have on tape, I love it.
I love it honestly.

Beats the hell out of "Let's go ______" and all of the generic chants. That one's ours and it's unique and it's fun.
No... Sure its "unique" compared to other chants, but it is a carbon copy of the Ranger's chant.

PS - Good post forceten, completely agree!

what's embarrassing is that the Rags don't give a **** about us when we're not playing them.

what's embarrassing is that the Rags don't give a **** about us when we're not playing them.
Yep that's why they show up to our games when we play the Hurricanes.

what's embarrassing is that the Rags don't give a **** about us when we're not playing them.

I know.. It's not like they have a bunch of Devil related playoff avatars :sarcasm:

The majority don't, but my Ranger friends do

You wouldn't want to be paid to go to games and do that instead of a typical job?

Lol. I can honestly say I wouldnt.

I think after the 14th or 15th time doing that it would be like a personal version of hell.

Yep that's why they show up to our games when we play the Hurricanes.

:laugh:
But you know what I mean. FOR THE MOST PART when it's the Rags vs. any team other than the Devils, we are the furthest things from their minds. Our chant makes us look bitter, and we shouldn't be because we're ****ing bEtter.

btw where the hell did they find that guy Cameron, anyway.

Usually this would be a TL/DR situation for me, but the first paragraph drew me in an I must say it's a fantastic post. :handclap:

Enlighten me. :help:

Or it could be people are reading way into a harmless chant that's been around since the 80s. God what is the next topic going to be if we lose game 3?

Does he really do that much harm to the game experience that he should take **** from people?

All the guy is doing is what he's supposed to for his job

No expect for the wave though :).............Thats my only beef with him but I am not going to give him **** about it! I don't think people should give him **** for doing his job but its going to happen. So if he doesn't want to hear it he should just stay away from those sections.

Only minority of the fans hate him from what I see anyway. Every time he gets something going everyone does it almost most. This is just getting out of hand now. I starting to feel sorry for the guy now. I will admit I hated at first but I am coming around to him now.

Or it could be people are reading way into a harmless chant that's been around since the 80s. God what is the next topic going to be if we lose game 3?

does Marty need to lose weight

Lol. I can honestly say I wouldnt.

I know what you mean.. It's pretty dependent on your personality, but it's something different than a typical job

Rangers Suck - Toss it.
Horn - Keep it. (Sorry for whoever sits close to him/her).
Superfan - Ignore it.

:yo:

You've probably never been to Raliegh.







And as for the whole complex thing, I don't see any anti rangers avatars, yet for some reason on the "other" board I see a lot of Devils themed ones. It works both ways, the team is seperated by 2 train stops, the chant will always be here, it has its place.

fans should not participate in any such shenanigans during a game. No cheering, no chanting, no booing, no noise making of any sorts. They should all just sit in their seat and intently watch the game. I want complete silence so I can fully enjoy the game.

SILENCE!

The chant would make a lot more sense, and take away the inferiority complex aspect of it, if instead of "Rangers Suck!" it was changed to "(team we're currently playing) Sucks!"

I wonder what fans of other teams, who don't know the history of the Rangers Sucks chant, think when they come to the Rock and hear it.

Some people do that but they are over powered.

Here's the short version of what I have to say.

1) I like Cameron.

2) I like the wave.

3) The Rangers suck chant sucks.

LOL cameron

Babyfart Mcgeezacks.

It's not unique or fun...it's a rip off of the "Potvin Sucks" chant!

So original our fans our! :rolleyes:

1. It's unique because no other team chants "Rangers suck" all the time. It's pure, beautiful malice. We make fun of their chant, while making fun of them.

2. It's fun because I have fun being a loud *******, and so do other people apparently.

I dont mind the chant but i dont particpate when we arent playing the rangers.

No hockey team chants "Let's Go Devils" either

Does that make it unique? :sarcasm:

I'm so hungover, basic logic escapes me. :(

it needs to die. bring back the "Rangers suck" song once a game. give a warning that anyone else that starts it in non-Rangers game will be tasered. taser the first person that starts the whistle. message sent.

It's easy to yell "NYR suck" from the safety of your seat in the upper rows of the Prudential Center, but I highly doubt you would actually yell that to a NYR player's face if given the opportunity.

does out of a window of a moving car count?

does out of a window of a moving car count?

I get that all the time from NYR fans in their cars when I'm walking Myles, Muffin or Mr. Chips and happen to be wearing a Devils jacket or cap.

ARENA! and no its not the only chant everyone does.

My bad, my bad. Any name one other one that the lower deck does too. I haven't heard one. I'll let you know when I do.

yea she sounds like a crow!!! i'll take it one step further for game 1 we had a jackass sitting behing us that was updating the rangers score every 5 mins from his phone. Stay the F home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where were you sitting game 1?

*whistle whistle whistle* "RANGERS SUCK CHANT SUCKS!"

Now THAT'S a chant.

It was funny the first time I heard it. Ever since then its annoying. It has been annoying for a few years now. The Gomez swallowing part is worse IMO. The whole chant is moronic and it really gets pathetic.

The chant itself is only relevant when we are playing them obviously. Other times, especially during a playoff game, we should need to ignore it. This is the Rock's second season in the playoffs and we need to give as much support to this team as possible without this lowball chant. So we could see this deep give us the deep playoff run they deserve.

I don't know what to say about horn. I mean, I like it in theory but it world work better if our team chant went along with it. I love hearing the horn when watching teams like the Pens (despite hating them) at home because it makes sense. The horn for us, doesn't make sense to me sometimes.

I would love to hear more D-E-V-I-L-S chants and of course LGD chants. It doesn't have to be in unison, though would be nice, as long as we're cheering on our team as much as possible.

Stop crying, its a fun chant. The ****ing Rangers chant about a hall of famer who retired 20 ****ing years ago, who cares.

I don't mean to be a troll or anything. But what Potvin did had a HUGE impact on the team. Ending the season of Nilsson, when the team could've beaten the Habs in the . It's not some random chant. Of course it is irrelevant when they play teams like NJ, Philly, Atlanta, and I hate that. The Islanders or Panthers(Potvin is the announcer for Panthers) should be the only teams. Think about it as if Marc Staal took out Parise or Zajac for the year, which was the closest NJ would win the cup in 15 years.

I'm not a Devils fan, I'm a Rangers fan... but I agree with the OP specifically from the perspective of a guy who absolutely HATES the "Potvin Sucks" chant that the MSG crowd does all the time. Just once I would love to hear whoever the jackass happens to be do the stupid little whistle thing and have NO ONE finish it out. Man, would that person feel stupid.

Hoo hoo I was one of the founders of the chant.:nod: but this **** has gone too far.:facepalm:
Please people enough is enough!:rant:

it needs to die. bring back the "Rangers suck" song once a game. give a warning that anyone else that starts it in non-Rangers game will be tasered. taser the first person that starts the whistle. message sent.This is pure brillance!:handclap:

Actually, you're really not trolling with this comment. It was a significant event in NYR history and is ingrained in the entire culture of the NYR/NYI rivalry.

And as for Marc Staal taking out Parise, that almost happened last year in the playoffs when Christian Backman crosschecked him in the mouth. Fortunately for us, Zach is a tough SOB (despite his frat boy/steal your chick away from you looks) and played right through it.

hate it.

That is true. I almost forgot all about that. And I think if Zach went down for the series, Devils have the right to yell "Backman Sucks" whenever they want against the Rangers. But man do I hate when I go to a Boston-Ranger game, and the guy next to me starts to whistle.:rant:

At least Potvin kinda sounds like Boston, a little bit.

I was sitting next to 2 carolina fans in section 120 during game 2 and they were like "huh?" when they heard the rangers suck chant. Then by the 5th time they heard the chant, I overheard them talking about how retarded devils fans must have some kind of inferiority complex to the ny rangers to keep beating the dead horse that is the rangers suck chant.

No because obviously the assuming did you no good!

I'm not getting my panties into anything...you're the one who needs a time-out!

I don't see the big deal with the chant and I've been going to Devils games my entire life. I think it's part of our culture.

Chanting "Rangers Suck" is appropriate at weddings, funerals and bar mitzvahs.
It is most certainly appropriate at Devils games, before during and after.

The title of this thread is fantastic.
Go Devs, go Caps.

Nah, they weren't doing it in 1982, 1991 or 1998. :sarcasm:

The "rangers suck" chant is awesome. How can somebody get bored/annoyed with yelling about their teams rival?

Cameron is a pretty amusing guy that gets the crowd more amped so I dont know how people can hate him if he is cheering for the Devils.

The Horn: Classic

I hope someone starts it during my funeral.

It use to drive me nuts but I've just learned to ignore it. My boyfriend is with me almost every game (we have seasons seats in 209) and he is a Rangers fan and he also just shakes his head and ignores it.

Alot of Devils fans refuse to have anything positive to say about the Rags but the Rags are the same way about the Devils
I know in a favorite players thread here I listed Dubinsky (hed be awesome if he was on a line with Parise) and I got attacked :sarcasm:

Easiest way to deal with it is to simply ignore it. If you argue with people at games about it you just end up fighting with some drunk fan.
Plus if you stop letting it get to you its actually funny. The if you know the Rangers suck song is awesome:handclap:

Its been stated many times in this thread: the chant degrades the "class" of the Devils fans.

Its his job.. are you aware he also does the same exact thing for other hockey teams, I think it was the Caps..? I don't hate the man, its actually pretty creative.

Obviously its his job to cheer for the team and get everybody amped up. I'm aware he does it for mad teams.

Back to the "class" discussion. Do you really care about what the fans of the Dallas Stars or the Tampa Bay Lightning think of you? "Class"...its a hockey game. Its not about "class" Go out, yell about how much you hate other teams, cheer for your team, and enjoy it. It's not an upscale dinner at a five star restaurant. It's a hockey game.

From what i've heard (and I believe it) Montreal has incredibly dedicated fans who have a lot of class. We're not Montreal. This is New Jersey. **** class when it comes to hockey.

Lets Go Devils....and the rangers suck.

What an intelligent post! I especially enjoyed reading the bold parts! :shakehead :help:

I don't get why people have such a problem with the Rangers Suck chant and yet defend Cameron on the grounds that he gets the crowd into the game...imo for better or worse the Rangers Suck chants do more to get the crowd in the game (and are more honest) than some hired dope throwing t-shirts during stoppages.

Granted I don't partake in Rangers Suck that much and sometimes it gets overdone, but to me anything that gets the crowd louder during the game is good.

Why U Guz Tak Bout Da Rangiz So Muchzz

What an intelligent post! I especially enjoyed reading the bold parts! :shakehead :help:

Its the truth. Wasn't "crazy" enough for you?

I consider the Habs to be a classy organization. They boo the U.S. National anthem and everyone still calls them classy. I doubt chanting about how a rival team sucks makes us less "classy".

That team as an entity perhaps is considered "classy", but they have the 2nd most obnoxious fanbase after the NYR.

You should see the Canadiens fans around here after a typical Brodeur win in Montreal.

Do they not?

Simply saying another team sucks isn't the issue. The issue is that some Devils fans say it when its completely irrelevant and sometimes untrue. Ex: When the Rangers were completely crapping on the Devils earlier this year, last year, and last year's playoffs. The Devils lost the last game against the Rangers, and the Rangers could be doing better in their series, against a higher seeded team after tonight.. so statistically, no, the Rangers do not suck.

I'm not kidding either. I'm probably picking up the supplies tomorrow and I'm not using markers. I'm using black paint! And I will hold it up every time I hear that dumb whistle!

You take a silly chant that seriously? :help:

You people care more about doing a stupid little chant when we're losing, or we've lost then you do about what our team has done, win or lose!

Some of you also seem happier when the Rangers lose than when we win!

The chant should be put on hold the rest of this playoff series, it's sounds dumb when we're playing another team in a playoff game.
People need to come fired up to next game and make some serious noise.
I thought Friday's crowd was good at points, but mostly a wait and see type crowd.

You're a pretty classy Devils fan. I applaud your objectivity and sense of reality. I'm not here to troll, I saw this thread and what you said and thought it would be worth risking a pile-on...

It's one thing for you guys to do it when we're playing against each other but another when it's a totally different team in the playoffs.

I hate how the Rangers still do Potvin sucks. I wasn't even alive when it happened, and I don't participate in it at MSG unless we're playing the Isles and even then, it's kind of old. The moronic fans that are screaming it at a different team (who probably has no idea why) make us look retarded.

:laugh: oh and the rangers suck.

refs suck

Hey CJ I like your idea with the sign. I may make my own and hold it up everytime the old crow begins to whistle.

I heard maybe 3 whistles today. Only 1 people actually said "Rangers Suck" to.

People were getting angry at the lady doing it in 233

Yep, they seemed to be few and far between. One of them was very weak, the other 2 or 3 were normal.

I guess everyone read this thread :laugh:
